Unlike many other travel publications, Conde Nast Traveler with its
founding philosophy of “Truth in Travel,” does not accept free travel and
accommodations, and its correspondents, as far as possible, travel
anonymously. The result is travel the way consumers experience it, good
and bad, with reporting that is fair and honest. Conde Nast Traveler
recently won its 6th National Magazine Award and is still the only travel
publication to have won the highest honor in magazine publishing. Conde
Nast Traveler, the 2003 Zagat Survey Best Travel Magazine, has a
circulation of over 750,000 and is published by The Conde Nast
Publications.
IMG was founded by Mark H. McCormack in the early 1960s. The company is
the world`s premier sports and lifestyle management and marketing firm,
with an international staff of more than 2,500 people in 80 offices in 32
countries. Clients include Tiger Woods, Serena Williams, and other world-
class athletes and celebrity figures. IMG provides full service
sponsorship marketing consulting services to many of the world`s largest
corporations through IMG Consulting. For more information, please visit
